In response to the November 10 Red Fort car blast in Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir Police have intensified inspections of various potentially sensitive commercial establishments across the valley. The districts targeted include Shopian, Kulgam, Pulwama, Anantnag, Ganderbal, and Awantipora. Police teams have been rigorously verifying documentation, stock registers, storage practices, and the movement of vehicles, fertilizers, chemicals, and explosive materials to ensure strict adherence to legal and safety norms. These inspections aim to prevent the misuse of regulated goods for terrorist or other criminal activities by closing possible loopholes. In addition to physical inspections, shopkeepers and dealers are being sensitized about maintaining proper documentation and cooperating with law enforcement to monitor suspicious bulk purchases. Such coordinated drives highlight a sustained effort by authorities to bolster security and deter the facilitation of unlawful acts within the region following the high-profile terror incident involving explosives linked to Jammu and Kashmir-based modules.
